Trying to find out when William and Elizabeth came to Australia or if they were born here. Also Charles and Mary Ann CHAPMAN'S where abouts between 1842 and 1864 after the birth of Sarah Jane who was born at Koppio in South Australia.

Were William Chapman and Elizabeth Hope born in Australia? Descendants of this couple had a secret, but that secret is still not solved to the present generation. Was their secret really that bad, were they convicts, or was a crime committed that maybe they changed their name. William and Elizabeth seem to have vanished into thin air. Did they remain in South Australia? It is believed that they were Catholics, so they may be recorded in Catholic records somewhere.
